Our aim is to be a lighthouse for the community. Our community is built on the foundation of support and connection. The words R U OK? are often spoken daily within our walls. We know how a conversation can change a life and we have seen it first hand.
We have made our RUOK? 4-Hour Roll a staple on our annual calendar- maybe our most important event of the year- to spread their message and help prevent su***de. To show people, that you aren't alone.
On Saturday September 12th we will have people on the mats rolling from 9-1pm with some individuals rolling for the gruelling 4-Hours.
On any given night- we are asking RUOK? But on RUOK? Day we bring extra attention to this powerful conversation starter because-
About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.
For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt su***de.
89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.
Let's work together to change these numbers.
R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from su***de.
Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.
By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about su***de.
Thank you so much for your support- together we will make a difference.
We're counting on your support through donations to help us make a difference. So come for some rolls or hang out & watch, grab some snacks & enter our raffle, you might even win a prize!
To donate on the day- show up ready to roll or spectate with a cash or card donation.
